nice finger rhymes book

This book contains 14 finger rhymes, some familiar (Two Blackbirds, Eensy Weensy Spider) and some not (Fish Story, There Was a Little Turtle). Nice b & w drawings accompany the rhymes, though the finger movements themselves are in very small boxes beside the lyrics, which can make them difficult to read.

my grandchildren loved the rhymes, fingerplays and illustrat

The fingerplays in Marc Browns collection are easy and well illustrated in this book. Traditional rhymes help children to feel confident in trying the fingerplays. The illustrations are also charming if you just feel like listening to the rhymes. They cause children to ask questions, think about the possible meaning of the rhymes and challenge their own imaginations.
